Porlock (town)

After hearing the first verse of Captain Kybo's haiku, the Sixth Doctor decided to visit Samuel Taylor Coleridge in Porlock. (AUDIO: Judoon in Chains)

Behind the scenes

The Person from Porlock was an unwelcome visitor to Coleridge's home in 1797 who interrupted him while he was composing his poem Kubla Khan, which came to him in a dream. The interruption caused him to forget the remaining lines and the poem was never completed.
